It was up to the students to decide whether they found it a good thing or a disappointing one to discover the danger shop back to the old classroom setting this morning, making it evident that there would be no adventures in the wilderness today. They might notice, especially, that the eggs from earlier in the semester were back, and, in front of Minsc, there were many piles of papers.
"Good morning, class!" He greeted them with his usual chipper brusqueness. "I am glad to see you all here again for another class! It makes me sad to tell you that today will be very boring, but it is very important. You see, it is almost time for your eggs to hatch! But before they hatch, we might do well to learn a think or two about taking care of baby animals, because you will soon find yourself new mommies and daddies of a magical creature next week!"
"Please, take one of these
packets about basic animal care and look over them carefully through the week, unless you like having an unruly pet that will bite you and potentially kill you or make your life generally not a happy one!"
"Today, you will be preparing your eggs for hatching next week. I cannot express how important it is for you to spend this time with them well! There might be a shell between you and what is inside, but this is a good time for it to already develop a connection with things like the sound of your voice, the feel of your hands, and your ever important smell. It could be what determines whether or not it thinks you are a parental unit or if you are food!"
"So, go, take care of the eggs, look over the packets. If you have
any questions now or through the week, please let me know, or see me in my office, and I will be happy to help! Boo and I want you all to do very well next week when they hatch!"
